CHARLES ANDERSON, OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, ASSIGNOR TO THE SOUTH BEND IRON XVORKS, OF SAME PLACE.

SLIP-NOSE ATTACHMENT FOR PLOWS.

- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 368,043, dated August 9, 1887.

Application filed dune 13, 1837.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES ANDERSON, of South Bend, in the county of St. Joseph and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Slip-Nose Attachments for Flows; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable oth ers skilled in the art to which it appertains to in make and use the same. w

My invention relates to improvements in slip-nose attachments for plows, the object of the same being to provide a reversible point or slip-nose adapted to be used in connection 1 5 with any style of plowshare, and adapted, when one face becomes unduly worn, to be detached and turned over and again secured in place with its opposite face uppermost; and with this end in view my invention consists in the parts and combinations of parts-,as will be more fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a view in perspective of a plowshare having my nose attached thereto. Fig.2 is an end view of the share with the nose removed. Fig. 3 is a view in transverse section of the share, taken on a line passing through the bolt-hole. Fig. 4 is a view in perspective of the nose detached. Fig. 5 is a plan view, and Fig. 6 an end View in perspective, of the plowshare with the nose removed.

A represents a plowshare of ordinary shape, having its front end thickened sufficiently to enable sockets for the reception of the shank of 3 5 the nose to be formed therein. The upper andlower wearing-faces, (t, of the nose B are correspondingly tapered, so as to conform to the taper ofthe edge of the wing of which the point is a continuation, which allows the point to be 0 reversed when worn. The opposite side edges of the wearing-faces a are cut away at the larger end of the nose B from the point I) to b, forming the projecting points a" and inclined bearing 0 on opposite sides of the nose, which,

5 when the nose is attached to the share, rest against the correspondingly-shaped shoulders 0, formed in the end of the share. From the inner faces of the projecting points c of the nose, formed by cutting away the opposite 5o sides, project ribs 6, which latter are arranged on aline diagonal to the front edge of the nose,

Serial No. 241,198. (No model.)

the said ribs being integral with the nose and slightly separated for the entrance of the rib eintegral with the share. The outer faces of both ribs are convex, and the two projecting ends 6 thereof are shaped to conform to the sockets 6 formed in the share A on opposite sides of the rib e.

The ribs extend rearwardly beyond the pro jecting points 0, forming shoulders f, which abut, respectively, against the shouldersf f of the share A, the said shoulders being located in a line passing through the sockets 6 On opposite sides of the nose B, immediately under the point I), are formed the recesses g, the latter being separated by the web 9. These recesses are adapted to receive the projections or shoulders g 9 formed on the share A on opposite sides of the slot 9 The ribs 6 are each notched on their adjacent faces, the said notches being so located as to permit of the passage of a bolt adapted to lock the point to the share.

The share A can be of any desired size or shape and designed for any make of plow, and 5 is provided with a landside, h, and a thickened point, h. This thickened point h is cutaway on its upper and lower faces to receive the projecting points a of the nose B, is provided with the sockets e for the projecting ends 6 of the ribs 6, with the shoulders f f adapted to enter the recesses g of the nose B, and with the rib 6, adapted to enter the space between the ribs 6.

C is a bolt-holeformed in the share andpassing through both sockets e and through the intervening rib 6 for the passage of a bolt, D, which latter passes between the ribs e of the nose B and rests in the recesses or notches formed in the sides of the ribs and prevents the accidental displacement of the nose.

The foregoing construction of reversible nose and means for securing same in position possesses several valuable features. By cutting away the point diagonally and providing projections to enter sockets in the share, and providing sockets or recesses for the entranceof projections on the share, and providing the point and share with interlocking ribs, extended bearing-surfaces are secured, which abroe solutely prevent the slightest lateral vertical movement of the nose, while the bolt which locks the nose to the share absolutely prevents any longitudinal movement. Again, by this arrangement of interlocking parts the connection or union of the two parts is to all intents and purposes as strong and secure as if the nose were integral with the share.

To reverse the point it is simply necessary to withdraw the bolt, remove the point, turn it over, replace it, and again secure it by the bolt.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A slipnose for plows having diagonal hearings on its upper and lower sides, and illwardly-prqiceting ribs and recesses, the latter adapted to receive shoulders formed on the plowshare or standard, substantial] y as set forth.

2. A. slip-nose for plows having diagonal hearings on its upper and lower faces, recesses in its opposite side edges for the reception of shoulders formed on the share or standard, and inwardly and rearwardly projecting ribs having notched edges, substantially as set forth.

3. The combination, with a plowshare hav ing a thickened point, the latter having diagonal hearings on its upper and lower sides, sockets, and shoulders, of the slip-nose having diagonal bearings on its upper and lower sides,

ing" the thickened end, the latter being provided with diagonal bearings on its upper and lower edge, a rib, shoulders, and a bolt-hole,

of the slip-nose having the rearwardly-projecting points, notched ribs integral with the points, and recesses formed in the opposite side edges of the nose, substantially as set forth.

5. The combination, with a plowshare having a socket in one end thereof, a rib located within the socket and integral with the share, and a bolt-hole formed in the share above and below the rib and through the rib, of aslip nose having notches located in or approximately in the longitudinal center of the nose for the passage of the bolt, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I have signed this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES ANDERSON.
